Calling all RMA Ladies (1st page updates)

I don't, but I would ask RMA to recommend someone. RMA NY has one on staff.
 
Hey Jersey! I get cramps several days before my period as well, I wouldnt stress too much about that unless they are severe. As far as the progesterone goes, 24 is a good number for a few days past IUI, no? Mine was 23 and my nurse said it was very good for 3 days after IUI. Not sure about the supplements, I have never been on them, but my RE at Morristown looked at my charts (I have a 13 day LP, but I USED to have an 11 day LP) and she said that it was fine. Did they bring up the supplements to you at all? I mean, I am sure it cant hurt? But dont get worried over nothing just yet :) Your cramps this cycle just might be your BFP! You never know! How many DPIUI are you? I am 6 today.

Blue - that sounds interesting! How are you post taping, lol

Daisy - I am SO jealous that you will be tan and all relaxing with margaritas while I am stuck at work, BOOOOOO! Take me with you!
 
Well I have no sex drive anymore, regardless, probably from all the babymaking :sex:

Now it just sort of feels like a chore, you know? Hoping that will change now that we are doing IVF, we can start having sex for fun again.

But what I meant was that with the stuff oozing out all the time, it's just unsexy, and makes me feel gross. And the last thing I want is something ELSE inside my vagina! Plus, it burns (for me) - to have sex while on the suppositories, and for a few days after stopping.
 
HAHAHAHA, Daisy, you saying "the least thing I want is something ELSE inside of me" makes me laugh!
Sex IS a chore. I have ZERO sex drive and I am not on progesterone. I am certain its from having sex from August literally straight through hoping to make a baby! Well, now I am exhausted all the time and have no desire to want to have sex. Poor Mike, LOL. I really hope that changes soon

Jchic....That's what the RE's office told me about the number as well that it was a good number that they want to see anything higher than a 7 after IUI They said I didn't need the supplement....today I am 9 days past the first IUI cramping is coming and going..I'm trying to talk myself out of getting a test. I want to hold off and see if my AF comes by Saturday like it did last month....just trying to not think about it easier said than done though
 
Ladies I'm in the same boat also....no sex drive...and suffering from exhaustion...I think though that my body has finally adjusted to almost no caffeine....The past 2 nights I stayed up to almost 11 PM....lol
 
Try not to test early... at least for me, it's been like double heartbreak. Heartbreak to see the first BFN, then heartbreak all over again to see the final one. Hopefully, you'll get a bfp, but the chances of that are higher the longer you wait to test.

Speaking of caffeine. I've been abstaining from coffee 100% for MONTHS, and only 2-3 drinks per cycle. Do you think when I am on vacation, and on BCP, I could have one small coffee a day, and a glass of wine with dinner??? Or should I skip it? I'll be ~ 6 weeks away from ER.
 
I think you should have a glass of wine!! It will relax you! RE herself told me to have 1/2 caff in the morning, and that's what I've been doing...just one cup and no other caffeine at all...that was very hard...I drank coffee all through the day and was addicted to Coca Cola...I think you should be alright with a cup every now and then on vacation!! But no matter what you decide to do...just go relax and enjoy yourself!!

I'm going to hold off testing...I'd be heartbroken with a false positive...
 
I think not testing is a good plan Jers. If you do end up getting a BFN on your test date, at least your next cycle will be just around the corner and you can focus on that. GEtting a BFN early is so difficult, not only because it's just heartbreaking on it's own, but it's so hard to keep the faith until the official test date. It's such a depressing time. Much better to test on the test date, process it, and turn the attention to next cycle.

I think I will order cappuccinos or something with a lot of milk, just one a day. And a little wine... I will ask my RE though...
 
Thanks Daisy....I'm just really going to try to hold off until the Beta testing on the 18th. I sent an email this morning to my nurse to see what my next step is that they have planned but also said that if this IUI doesn't work I'd rather go on to IVF!!

Definitely check with your RE...but I think a glass or two or of wine will be ok...afterall it's good for the heart :) Just enjoy yourself and have a good time!!
 
I really doubt that the coffee or wine would hurt anything 6 weeks away. Go and enjoy yourself, but it's a good idea to check with your re just incase. You are so good I have not cut out coffee or wine yet, but I am not a huge coffee drinker I only have about a half cup a day. I think once I start by BCP I will cut everything out again.
 
Thanks Blue! When do you start BCP?

You are waiting for AF? Are your cycles irregular or do you have an idea of when she'll show?
 
I agree, DONT test until Saturday or Sunday. I know what you mean how hard it is not to, but Dukes is right, the longer you wait, the better chance of it being positive since HCG needs time to build up in your system.

Daisy - You better drink and have FUN while you are away!!!! Relaxation is the key! You are going to have a turks and caicos baby, you watch!

Waiting for AF to show in about 2 weeks. I think I O'd yesterday or maybe today. My cycles are usually pretty regular so I hope I am right. Then I will go in for CD1 bloodwork before I can start the pill. I heard today at work all this talk about them changing the insurance and it's making me freak out. I requested a meeting with my boss to find out what truth there is to it b\c I need to know. She knows what is going on already so it doesn't matter.
 
If they do change the insurance, won't your current policy go through the end of the year, or at least through the Fall? In my experience, when they change the insurance, the enrollment is usually in the Fall..?

Also, in NJ, there is a state mandate for infertility coverage, so hopefully you'll be OK?
 
Blue, If they are changing insurance, they would need to change and roll over during whatever enrollment period is for that insurance (they are all different, there are so many). You will be given at least 30 days notice if they do switch. Find out what plan they are on

Daisy -state mandatory is only for groups over 50 and is it elective only if you are not renewing and are changing plans completely. I run HR for a technology engineering company (over 50 employees) and I elected a plan with the state mandate (for personal benefits of course, haha), but employers dont have to, so for example - if you have united health care and you renew with them and they dont have fertility benefits, then state mandate doesnt apply on renewals (for any size company) or for smaller companies. Its really tricky - but most companies do have it if they are of that size - its so confusing and a pain in the ass, LOL
